Re: Help for a newbie
I just sold my TSC 1911 and have shot a variety of LBPs. In my personal experience I love the PPQ M2 the most which I have kept and upgraded. Shoots so well and feels great without needing gunsmithing or modifications. It is also lightweight so gives a good kick and feedback if you want to use it for 9mm substitute practice like a Glock. I put a carbon shroud, larger magwell and fibre optic sights on for personal preference.

Re: Help for a newbie
When I hear of shooters using CO2 air pistols I could cry I really could. I Just go back to the days when we could own real handguns and life was so much simpler. I'm just wondering how long it will be before they want to licence CO2 pistols because they look "Too realistic".
Never argue with an idiot, he will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

Try Cactus Arms.

they are making a Glock clone and can source a 1911 type if you prefer.
There used to be a long barreled Iver Johnson that was all steel but I haven't seen one for ages.

Can't say Ron at Cactus Arms is great at communicating..... Although I do want to try their Glock model.
Re: Help for a newbie
Tbf air pistols and airsoft are tremendously useful as trainers, particularly airsoft imo. With the exception of recoil management (only an issue in speed shooting) much of the major skills transfer over, albeit at 10 yrds. All that said yeah of course I agree that the ban is dumb. The general public widely believes that good control is about bans, and that there absolutely no other dynamics to it - that's what they believe and is frankly all they care to believe. You've more chance of finding a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow than convincing them otherwise unfortunately.Graham M wrote: ↑Sat Mar 11, 2023 10:17 am When I hear of shooters using CO2 air pistols I could cry I really could.

What did you decide to buy? or still looking?
I have a great Grand Power K22 - all steel working parts. Works fine.
They were in short supply a while ago but judging by a recent review in Gun Mart they are available from Shooting Supplies in Bromsgrove
